Peer reviewedHomer, Bruce D.; Plass, Jan L. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2010
The influence of prior knowledge and cognitive development on the effectiveness of iconic representations in science visualizations was examined. Middle and high school students (N = 186) were given narrated visualizations of two chemistry topics: Kinetic Molecular Theory (Day 1) and Ideal Gas Laws (Day 2). For half of the visualizations, iconic…
